thats the error I get when people try to access the forums I run on my website. I've been through the code but can't figure out exactly whats wrong. I'm still quite new to PHP and still have a very limited understanding of it. All I can say for certin is that up untill around 2 p.m. PST the forums were working then around that time they seem to have stopped and started outputing that error message. If anyone can help me it would be greatly appreciated.

We can't really help unless we can see the source code, several lines at least. We can only make uneducated guesses, which undoubtedly people will do, but source code would be very helpful.

I received a similar error on both my e107 website and smf website.

the smf one, I just went to drastic mesures..And did some things I'm not to proud of (reinstalation ).

the link for the e107 is still there to be studied though:

http://wasteofspace.astahost.com/e107

Goodluck my children!

just show the lines of code from 271 to 273 including them and I think as said above we will help you.

I get an error too:

Parse error: parse error, unexpected '/' in /home/hercco/public_html/forums/Sources/Post.php on line 1822

There is this javascipt added and have no idea where the hell it came from:

And I noticed that some other files has been changed too.

Well Here is a link to a text version of the Subs.php file. I've been over it a few times and can't seem to see anything that would cause that error, but I'm still quite new to php and can't say that I would see it even if the error was right in front of my face...lol.

Hope ya'll can help me.

Easy enough to diagnose: see line 272 of the script:There are three single quotes for the seond parameter, which, in essence, defines an empty string, and then a string to continue until the next single quote (causing the unexpected string error message). I'm guessing that the object is to find where a simgle quote appears in the string, so change the three single qutes to an escaped single quote inside two double quotes, like so:
Hope this helps.

Actually, there are several ''' used throughout the program and none of them have the same problem. Additionally, the file wasn't changed by the user. I also have a similar issue.

It's with mambo though. I'll try to figure out the problem.

I'm pretty sure some gloabl element has caused these errors. Maybe a server configuration change.


Here is the first few lines of the file I get an error on

Again this is a parse error and I have never edited this file. It worked a few days ago but not now.

Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_VARIABLE, expecting ',' or ';' in /home/xxxxxxxx/public_html/xxxxx/xxxxxxxxx/components/com_tfsformambo/admin.tfsformambo.html.php on line 150

Here is lines 137 to 160:

I noticed some triple (''') at my site too. Also there are files in the forum folders that do not belong there. In my SMF Sources/ there are files called base.php, include.php and create.php. All files empty.

I have emailed support.
